The A at start and end of Meric is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Borock with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. The democratic population of 24.981 billion Mericians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Yark. The average income tax rate is 35.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Merician economy, worth 472 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 18,932 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cars are banned, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, Meric has designated New Yark as its capital city, and Borock has just been declared ruler of Meric in an international press conference. Crime is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Meric's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Uncle Samism.

Meric is ranked 190,985^th in the world and 4^th in Dax for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
